IIRC those two guards could be anywhere in the mission - the patrol routes are rather lengthy for a few of them. The keeperchapel lootmap markers only designate the start points for the patrol, so it's a safe bet they'll eventually come back to that spot if you wait long enough. It's pretty frustrating in that one b/c you can't just blackjack all of them to find the purses. Patience and persistence. ;)

hello
thanks fett for the reply,but do those 2 guards i was talking about(24 & 32 on keepers chapel loot map)stay on floor 2 or go down to floor 1?.the reason i ask is that i played this mission once and i saw a guard in the kitchen,floor 1 walking into the wall(where loot 28 is,keepers chapel loot map)wierd!!thank you

IIRC 24 eventually takes that staircase in the Northwest corner down a floor at some point. It's been a long time since I've tried to get all the purses but I remember that the patrol patterns for some of the second floor guards were so long that they could be anywhere at any time almost.

my apologies to posting a reply so long after you helped me.i have tried the said mission again and i finished it and in the stats screen it said i have picked 9 out of 10 pockets,but the map in the keepers chapel only has 9 guards who have purses!i have even checked on the 3 floor.is the missing guard looking for garret in the floor 1 courtyard?thank you

ladderman: You've got all the pickpockets OK. The extra one reported on the stats screen is a bug in Thief2.
Most FM builders are aware of this bug and force the correct total to be shown.
